Letters .Patent No. 93,15,'dated July 27, 1869.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the lame.

To all whom, 'it may concern.-

Be it known that we, P. B. WILLOUGHBY and H. G. PHELPS, of Judd, in the county of Green, and in the State of Wisconsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvelilents in Coffee-Pots; andv do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and-exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings and to the letters of reference marked thereon, making a part of this specification.

rlhe nature of our invention consists the construction of a coiiee-pot, and in the arrangement of the v devices hereafter shown and set forth.

The accompanying drawing represents a section View of our invention.

Letter A represents an ordinary coffee-pot.

Extending downward from thee'over B, is the tube C, the lower part of which is perforated, so as to form a strainer, through which the water iows into the pot A.

This tube is provided with a cover, D, the rim of which extends to some distancev downward, and has a nuniber of holes made through it, to correspond with those made through the tube.

The ground coffee is placed in the bottom of the strainer, and as soon as the water has been poured upon it, the cover D is placed on, care being taken that the holes 'through it and the tube are placed together. As thesteam arises from the coffee 1t will pass throughy the holes, and then downward as rapidly as it cools, thus preventing all evaporation of the strength, by the steam, )and4 also retaining all the aroma.

Each of the covers has been provided with a handle, so that .both `together or one at a time can .be removed.

Having thus described our invention,

What we claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, isl The combination of the perforated tube C, the lower end of which forms a strainer, the covers B and D, and pot A, when arranged substantially as set forth and described.

In testimony that we claim the foregoing, we have hereunto set ourhand, this 20th day of May, 1869. P. B. WILLOUGHBY. H. G. PHELPS.
